[rancfit]

DUUUUUUUUDE U'RE CRAZYYYYY!!!!! :D

[devildogloco]

@ericczar man you're awesome! could u upload a lesson video for this song?it would be awesome man! i played bass for 20 years and damn when i saw u,that 20 years feels wasted man..lol....the thing is..u ROCKS man

[lambg69]

I'm really curious how do u play those great triplets..."double thumbing + Index finger" ? ...if it's not a secret of course :) ...beautiful songs on your channel btw ;)

[yordaniy]

That's what I call a real MUSIC! Way to go, Eric! Thanks for sharing all those nice pieces with us!

[sammy0093]

This is the reason why he performs with Joe Bonamassa:D Epic

[jonmitchell1968]

Easily the best bass player I have ever seen! If you are ever in England and need a guitar player to stand to the right of you on stage with his jaw on the floor give me a call!!

[Bjouesbijou]

you're sooooooo lucky to have that bass! also, really impressive playing as always

[ftfnavyseals]

@Bjouesbijou Why? Eric said himself the bass costed only 20 dollars... I'm not normally one to call somebody out, but seriously you had that coming. Don't jump to conclusions that every bass somebody famous plays is priceless.

[Bjouesbijou]

@ftfnavyseals i play Japanese music, that's why .. nice call out there

[PokemonTrainerScott]

Wow mr. This is some tasty stuff!!! That bass sounds awesome> Man you have got some great technique and fill that pocket up to the top!

[BenZeneProject]

dats got da funk aight. Yup.

Zowie! Think I need another beer.

[CadPCrayon]

I accidentally loaded your website with "Fretless Ebow Bass" playing, and it actually sounded great!

[CadPCrayon]

@CadPCrayon Ack, I meant to say "loaded during this video". My bad :/

[inhalefarts]

holy shit are you the real bill cosby

[ericczar]

@inhalefarts my god your screen name just made me laugh, and spit seltzer all over my monitor...thanks for writing! : D

[broadcast666this]

Great eyebrows in this one!!! Thats a greaet tone for 20 dollar bass dude!

[3rdeyebass]

Funkier 'n a mutha, and the bass sounds phenomenal. At first I was wondering how you managed to hit those low Cs, but careful viewing showed you reaching behind the peghead. Could you tell me a bit more about the Audere preamp? Does it have an active/passive switching, for example?

[JamisonBetheaTV]

Disturbingly sick!

[flescum]

I bet you were pretty good even before you ever started playing. Love your videoes!

[FireMastaFX]

Sound like something you wold find in a Ridge Racer game for some reason... anyway this is really awesome! :))

[chesterdcify]

Awesome artistry!

[MahvidsFTW]

Magnificent slap.

[Martroid]

That's what I'd call a master at work -- a perfect blending of taste, technique, tone and a little magic on top. ;-)

[rudebass53]

You're definitely an original... you certainly don't use the techniques the same way many others do. Awesome, funky, and tasty. I tip my hat. I aspire to be as original as you.

[Martroid]

@rudebass53 Totally agree.  Well put, sir.

@DubbleTakes I'd explain it to you, but you wouldn't understand.

[TheodorBass]

I love that 'breath' of low frequencies :)

[DuxJerome]

Great flow man.

[ewfmatthew]

this is the best soundin jazz bass i have ever heard, real deep but clear and a strong groove! something that moves you and moves through you!

[jdub0765]

the person who dislikes this must be jealous LOL

Awesome!

[jdub0765]

Man...I'm speechless! I thought your 7-string tunes were awesome, and they are...but you just took playing a 4-string bass to a new level, Talk about IN THE POCKET!!! I think this is my new Eric Czar favorite. Keep 'em coming, Bro! 

[DaveMaterMorbi]

From this day, i'll only play the "tarattata" slap!!!!!!

You use double thumb technic???

[mikke831]

you sound awesome! I'd like to know that the amplifier uses equalization to get this sound. For the technique I'm learning. I'm your big fan! Continues to give me joy

[Zorglubb]

Highly enjoyable, like all your videos! Cheers Eric!

[andries9493]

Wow! I like this even more than your 7string'ed videos.



[ericczar]

[elf1133]

[Mick80200]

[andfon7a]

I'm speechless

[baronvonsatan]

Holy crap this was good.

[jc8liter2388]

A few months ago I bought a Matsumoku Vantage VS600b sight unseen for 200 bucks.....I have never been happier. A truly underrated brand of instruments.

[jerbrerizz94]

Man I would pay good money to see you and Les Claypool just play random licks on stage and just feed off each others vibes. Great video!

[elf1133]

Absolutely awesome!!

[sgtpain101]

you somehow manage everytime you upload to make my jaw drop,good work keep it up eric.

[sgtpain101]

I'm speechless and in awe,love the videos eric keep it up

[GatoX247]

I dream to play bass like you ericczar

[Domenix71]

Your technique is great and you are an amazing bass player, but on this video the bass volume is too low, maybe because the compression on the bass is to strong... :-)

[chavarinbonbyn]

the bass's volume is very low...

[erix0699]

Great tune and great sound.

[Robsbasscafe]

Absolutely stunning! Awesome playing!

[hoshincho]

This is absolutely unreal

[justinbernal1]

Good show old boy! Well done mon frere, bravo!

[Jar116]

Hey Mr Czar, your techniques still impress me, never seen someone like you, I've seen many great bass players like Victor Wooten, and you still can play faster and cleaner than them

by the way the fretless i bought from you is really good still practicing with it and soon I'll be uploading videos Thanks man for been such an inspiration 

[Nileschannel]

Beautiful song! Thanks for sharing!

[srcraig]

I keep coming back to watch this again and again. Knock it off dammit I need to get some work done! :-)

[ericczar]

thanks everyone for watching, and for the kind words!

[papaours1968]

hello eric is there the original pickups ?

[ericczar]

@papaours1968 ...yes, and i have NO idea what they are, I bought the bass for 20 bucks...added an Audere pre, and BAM...sometimes you never know...thanks for watching!

[voncoolio]

@ericczar This is the best jazz bass slap tone tone I've heard. 20 bucks?!?!

[Zemed87]

Nice. Wish the bass was louder in the mix, though! It's a bit hard to hear at times.

[JauqoIIIX]

Your playing and the bass sounds really nice.

[Vanderkleyamp]

Fantastic as always!

[theratkingz]

more 4 string action please!

[srcraig]

Love it!!!!!!!!!

[prenticeanyonywright]

Great video man, keep up the good work.
